| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
The data presented in the majority request for corn MON 94804 comply with current standards and legislation that aim to guarantee the biosafety of the environment, agriculture, human and animal health, and allow us to conclude that corn MON 94804 is substantially equivalent to conventional corn, being its safe consumption for human and animal health. Regarding the environment, it can be concluded that genetically modified subcombinations do not potentially cause significant degradation of the environment, maintaining an identical relationship with the biota to conventional corn. |

Country introduction: Brazil had the first biosafety law approved in 1995. After the identification of the need to improve the biosafety system of Brazilian genetically modified organisms, a new law was published. The Law 11.105 / 05 establishes a technical committee dedicated to the analysis of the safety aspects of genetically modified organisms and a council of ministers that is dedicated to the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of the commercial release of genetically modified organisms. In this context, Brazil already has several commercial products that involve genetically modified organisms (plants, human and veterinary vaccines, microorganisms for fuel production) and products derived from new genetic modification techniques.
